Dushanbe

Dushanbe (Tajik:Душанбе, Persian:دوشنبه‎‎) is the capital and largest city of Tajikistan. Dushanbe means Monday in the Persian language. It was so named because it grew from a village that originally had a popular market on Mondays. Until 1929, the city was known in Russian as Dyushambe (Russian:Дюшамбе), and from 1929 to 1961 as Stalinabad (Tajik:Сталинобод, Persian:استالین‌آباد‎‎). As of 2014, Dushanbe has a population of 778,500.

History

Situated at the confluence of two rivers, Varzob and Kofarnihon, Dushanbe is the capital of Tajikistan. Although archaeological remnants dating to the 5th century BC have been discovered in the area, there is little to suggest that Dushanbe was more than a small village until the early 20th century.

The first written mention of the village Dushanbe found at the end of 1676. It was at the crossroads, where a large bazaar occurred on Mondays, hence the name Dushanbe-Bazar (Tajik:Душанбе Бозор, Dushanbe Bozor; Persian:دوشنبه بازار‎‎) from Dushanbe, which means Monday in the Persian language. In the village, there were more than 500 households and a population of about 8,000 people.

The southern Brooklyn neighborhood’s eponymous waterway was once home to abundant schools of sheepshead fish (a coastal Atlantic variety that feeds on oysters, clams, and other crustaceans).
